Flower Delivery to Willington, Derbyshire with Clare Florist

Situated on the River Trent, not far from historic Repton, Willington is a choice destination if the goal is quiet living in a town full of community pride.  Shaped over the centuries as a transportation hub by river, canal and rail, this pleasant, polite community offers many shops including artists and artisan galleries, and an old fashioned sweet shop patterned after the owner’s long-ago favorite type of store.

Willington also offers pubs which serve fabulous food and drink, and special events such as live music and murder mysteries. A place for quiet romance (what would be better than to send flowers to Willington so they greet you in your cottage or hotel when you arrive?) or a leisurely holiday, the village boasts a spring arts festival, while the surrounding communities are alive year round with antique and collector fairs, family events, shows, touring theatre groups and salsa dancing events.

Mercia Marina, the largest canal marina in the country positioned on the Mersey Canal built off the River Trent in 1777, offers a welcoming and safe environment for visitors and boaters alike. An annual festival held at the marina features live music and fireworks.

The scenic Willington Bridge, which was added when rail service came to Willington in 1839, spans the Trent to Repton, adding beauty and history to the area. Not far to the south is the National Forest, which covers 200 square miles and touches upon three counties. The Forest offers an annual Spring Walking Festival showcasing the beauty of May-time greenery, something to rival the flowers in Willington.
